    The Qin army occupied Egypt.  After entering Alexandria, Li Yuan ordered glutinous juice to be poured into the cracks of the pyramid, which completely sealed the secret passage of the pyramid. This move of the Qin army made the residents of Alexandria uneasy about the "invasion of the unfamiliar east".  "I had a good impression of him."  The Egyptians are as obsessed with the pyramids as the Chinese are with the underground tombs. Inside the pyramids is the tomb of Egypt's most sacred pharaoh.  In the era of the prosperity of ancient Egyptian civilization, almost every generation of Egyptian pharaohs would build their own pyramids. Of course, due to the strength of the country at that time, the size and structure of the pyramids varied.  For the Egyptians, the Ptolemaic Kingdom was actually an outsider. The Hellenistic countries in the north ruled Egypt with a longer history, which made the Egyptians very dissatisfied.  During the Macedonian army's occupation of Egypt, in order to consolidate his rule, the Egyptian governor Ptolemy not only ordered the ancient Egyptian city of Canopus to be renamed Alexandria, but also destroyed dozens of pyramid ruins on Pharaoh Island near the port.  The dismantled boulders were used as stepping stones for the pier and lined the harbor quay.  The Egyptians had not heard of the Great Qin. The caravans traveling on the Silk Road would often spread strange news from the East. But for the oppressed ordinary civilians and slaves living at the bottom, the Great Qin was so developed.  It is incredible that a country in China has no slaves.  Slaves were the way for nobles to maximize the exploitation of their labor force. Slaves had no freedom or property. Everything they owned, including their children, was the private property of the nobles. In this contrast, Qin took the lead in entering the superiority of the feudal system.  Sexuality is unmistakable.  "The people of Qin gave us freedom. Slaves, you don't have to be oppressed anymore. You are free." The Egyptians who were running around and shouting looked excited.  They did not expect that after defecting to Qin, they would enjoy benefits that were impossible to obtain under the rule of Ptolemy V.  Li Yuan issued edicts throughout Egypt to destroy the original system of the old dynasty, distribute land to slaves and civilians, and arrange officials and manage local areas according to the Qin State's county system. These edicts were implemented.  This greatly enhanced the Egyptians' sense of belonging to the Qin State. During this period, even if there were rebellious rebellions from the Ptolemaic Kingdom from time to time, they could not change the overall situation.  With all of northern Africa integrated into the alliance between Qin and Carthage, Qin¡¯s expansion momentum in the southern Mediterranean was like igniting a raging fire.  This makes the various slave countries and tribes here feel extremely nervous.  On the Ethiopian plateau, black slaves who were good at running, holding high bone spears and wooden clubs, fought for survival and freedom with the tribal nobles.  Although their uprising failed in the end, nearly 50,000 black slaves among them escaped from the shackles and went down the Nile River.  Arriving at the area ruled by the Qin State, near Cairo, new reclamation areas have been planned and there is a lack of enough labor for farming.  Alexandria is currently the largest port and capital of Egypt. In a short period of time, Li Yuan did not want to change it. For such a city-state with a awakening public consciousness, it is obvious that if it is not handled properly.  It will cause a series of problems, and the best way is to ignore them.  A circular and vast area.  Qin State needs to be able to adapt to changes on a larger scale. Xin'an City is the core city of the entire Western Region, and Qin State also needs a central city of its own along the Nile River in Egypt.  The city of Cairo.  When the Qin army arrived, it was still a small market town surrounded by pyramids.  Li Yuan has decided to build a new city near the original site.  ¡ª¡ª.  The Roman fleet stayed on the island of Crete for seventeen days.  When Crassus finally escaped the hurricane and decided to sail again, he heard unexpected news that the Ptolemaic Kingdom had been destroyed.  This shocked him.  "The Carthaginians actually dispatched a fleet and cooperated with the Qin State to attack and destroy the Ptolemaic Kingdom." This sudden change in the situation made Crassus sensitively feel that Rome was about to face an unprecedented situation.  Competitive pressure.  When Scipio received the news that the Qin army had occupied Egypt and that the former Carthage commander Hannibal had returned, it was already mid-June. This young and wise commander of the Roman Republic, after being intoxicated in the gentle countryside for several days, finally gradually  The reply is sober.  The southern coast of the Mediterranean changes hands.  This means that with the Qin army in the east and Carthage in the west, they can attack the Apennine Peninsula in a roundabout way from the Balkan Peninsula and the Iberian Peninsula. This kind of pincer attack has never been seen before in Rome.  In response to this severe situation, the Roman Senate held emergency meetings for several days. After being speechless for a long time, the consul Fabian sat on theposition, but it is obvious that he is unable to control Carthage and has been questioned by many parties at the meeting. He may be ousted at any time.  June 20th.  Scipio led his triumphal army from the northern Milanese heights to the city of Rome. Along the way, Roman civilians crowded on both sides of the road to welcome this victorious team fighting for their country.  For ordinary Roman civilians, there were their relatives, fathers, sons, and husbands in the team. They looked forward to their relatives making contributions on the battlefield, and at the same time, they also looked forward to their safe return with their hands and feet intact.  The return of the army.  This gave Scipio, a young and accomplished commander, unparalleled strength. Scipio, who had the support of some senators, believed that the time had come to seize the power of the Senate.  Time waits for no one.  Scipio has never been as eager for the position of consul as he is today. He has no choice. Faintly, he has heard the rumbling war drums of his fateful opponent in the east!  ¡ª¡ª.  The seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty, Xia.  In the calm and strange atmosphere, the sea in the Mediterranean area was calm and the merchant ships were traveling safely, transporting cargoes from the east to the west and back to the east.  After occupying Egypt, the Qin army focused its main energy on consolidating the territory it had occupied. At the same time, Li Yuan also spared his energy and began a patrol-style return trip along the Middle East and Central Asia.  Egypt, together with the Dead Sea area where Jews live, has been taken over by General Li Zhongxiang. For the sake of convenience, Li Zhongxiang has already written to Loulan's wife An Qinglan early. In the near future, the entire Longxi Li family will gradually move to  Come from the west.  As for Loulan's corner, An Qinglan's Wang brother will continue to govern. This power distribution system is also to prevent possible disharmony between the An family siblings in the future. After all, in the face of power, even the most intimate relationship will slowly fade away.  of deterioration.  Accompanying Li Yuan on the hunt, in addition to Yan Feng, were also some noble envoys from Carthage, Judaea, Greece and other countries. They had longed for the mysterious and powerful Eastern Empire. This time they heard that Emperor Shenwu was about to return.  After hearing the news from Dongfang, he impatiently sent his cronies over.  Of course, in order to show their sincerity in learning advanced knowledge, these weak and small ethnic groups in the West all presented treasures and gifts to the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the expenses along the way were paid by them, and Qin did not need to bear it at all.  Regarding this statement, Li Yuan generously expressed his approval.  As a superior, it is actually necessary to express recognition of the filial piety of subordinates from time to time. Li Yuan's act of intimacy also reassured the Jews who were originally a little uneasy.  After more than a month of arduous traveling from Cairo, Dongyang, Xin'an, Xiyong, and Peacock City, we finally arrived in Gushi, the westernmost border town before the Qin Dynasty, in mid-August.  As an important city at the eastern end of the Silk Road, the size of the city has more than doubled over the years, just like a balloon has been blown up.  Relying on the snow water at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Gushi City's groundwater mining ensures the supply of available water for urban residents. Li Yuan looked at the familiar border town and couldn't help but think about it.  Going out of his hometown and constantly exploring unknown areas far away is the most valuable thing Li Yuan brought to this era. From the confident eyes of each Qin people, Li Yuan can find the source of this nation's confidence and pride.  .
